Contributor Bio(s): Garcia, Elizabeth: - Award winning author Elizabeth A. Garcia has lived for more than thirty years in the Big Bend country of far west Texas. She has hiked, rafted, explored, and earned a living in this wild desert-mountain land near the Rio Grande, on the border of the United States and Mexico. It was experiencing the deep canyons, creosote-covered bajadas, and stark, jagged mountains; the wide-open spaces and dark, starry nights that eventually brought her to writing.Sikes, Jan: - Multi-Award winning author, Jan Sikes, began her writing journey around the age of eight. Primarily, the stories she writes are true stories about the journey of two people moving through adversity in order to grow and learn to become better humans. She believes with all her heart, there is something worth sharing in these stories. Bits and pieces of wisdom, hard-learned lessons and above and beyond all, love...True love that you read about in fiction stories...and yet this is truth. The old saying, truth is stranger than fiction fits these stories.Allen, Lorri: - Award winning author Lorri Allen is active in the National Speakers Association. The surprising story of how her parents met was published in the best-selling book, Chocolate for a Woman's Heart. Lorri's collection of heart-warming essays came out in 2011. It's All Good News: Encouragement for Every Season can be the basis for a four-session women's retreat or ask for the study questions and have Good News as a study aid in a class or book club. |
